Epidemiology of perioperative RV dysfunction: risk factors, incidence, and clinical implications
AbstractIn this edition of the journal, the Perioperative Quality Initiative (POQI) present three manuscripts describing the physiology, assessment, and management of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) as pertains to the perioperative setting. This narrative review seeks to provide context for these manuscripts, discussing the epidemiology of perioperative RVD focussing on definition, risk factors, and clinical implications. Throughout the perioperative period, there are many potential risk factors/insults predisposing to perioperative RVD including pre-existing RVD, fluid overload, myocardial ischaemia, pulmonary embolis...

The genotype of barley cultivars influences multiple aspects of their associated microbiota via differential root exudate secretion
by Alba Pacheco-Moreno, Anita Bollmann-Giolai, Govind Chandra, Paul Brett, Jack Davies, Owen Thornton, Philip Poole, Vinoy Ramachandran, James K. M. Brown, Paul Nicholson, Chris Ridout, Sarah DeVos, Jacob G. Malone Plant-associated microbes play vital roles in promoting plant growth and health, with plants secreting root exudates into the rhizosphere to attract beneficial microbes. Exudate composition defines the nature of microbial recruitment, with different plant species attracting distinct microbiota to enable optimal adaptation to the soil environment. To more closely examine the relationship between plant genotype a...

Chronic Pancreatitis-Associated Metabolic Bone Diseases: Epidemiology, Mechanisms, and Clinical Advances
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 2024 Apr 24. doi: 10.1152/ajpendo.00113.2024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive inflammatory disease with an increasing global prevalence. In recent years, a strong association between CP and metabolic bone diseases (MBDs), especially osteoporosis, has been identified, attracting significant attentions in the research field. Epidemiological data suggest a rising trend in the incidence of MBDs among CP patients. Notably, recent studies have highlighted a profound interplay between CP and altered nutritional and immune profiles, offering insights into its ...

Immunogenicity of COVID-19 adsorbed inactivated vaccine (CoronaVac) and additional doses of mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine in immunocompromised adults compared with immunocompetent persons
Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo. 2024 Apr 19;66:e24. doi: 10.1590/S1678-9946202466024. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTInactivated COVID-19 vaccines data in immunocompromised individuals are scarce. This trial assessed the immunogenicity of two CoronaVac doses and additional BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine doses in immunocompromised (IC) and immunocompetent (H) individuals. Adults with solid organ transplant (SOT), hematopoietic stem cell transplant, cancer, inborn immunity errors or rheumatic diseases were included in the IC group. Immunocompetent adults were used as control group for comparison. Participants received two CoronaVac doses with...
